Linking Office 365 University to my Skype Account for 60-world minutes

I have a free subscription to Office 365 through my university but I cannot claim my Skype 60 world minutes. I have tried linking my Microsoft Office account with my Skype account but the minutes are not available. What should I do to claim the minutes?

By George,l think I've GOT IT!.  Here's a link to the instructions for linking your Microsoft account to your skype account https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA12230/how-do-i-​link-my-microsoft-office-365-account-with-my-skype​...
Sign in to your microsoft account. 
Hit the activate button on the skype minutes.
Be sure to scroll all the way down to claim them.
Wait about 10 minutes and they should be showing in a sidebar when you sign into skype. Try making a call to a landline or mobile.
If they aren't being applied, it may be because you are calling outside the 60 eligible countries or regions.
I DID this and actually used one of my minutes! Yippee!
I'm no whiz so you should be able to do it too.
The problem with these giant companies that have us all by the short and curlies is that what they mean by support is "figure it out yourselves"... it's an exercise in self-reliance.

  • Office 365 University offline installation

    I have got an Office 365 University subscription and I need help in installing Office 365 offline. After a bit of searching I found out that I can use Microsoft Office Deployment Tool for Click-to-Run. But I don't know which Product ID I should give
    in the configuration file as Office 365 University is unavailable in the list given on this website -
    ht tp://support2.microsoft dot com /kb/2842297
    (I had to substitute the link with space and words because I was getting an error stating body text can't contain links.)

    I haven't tried it, but, O365University seems to be the same features as O365Home(Premium), so maybe this ProductID might work?

  • Office 365 University Error Opening All Products

    I am a student at OTC in Springfield, MO. I just purchased Office 365 University Edition today, as it is required for my courses. So, it took forever to download, because my internet is slow. When it was finally done, I could not open any of the programs,
    when I tried, I received a message saying, "Windows detected an error with Word, Excell, PP, etc..", then forced me to close my programs. After hours of research on the forums here, I discovered the culprit was a program that came with my Epson printer,
    ABBYY-FineReader... I can't even begin to understand why that program would keep me, and everyone else, from using our Office products we paid for. It is extremely frustrating, and time consuming to fix, if you don't know the issue right away. All I
    am here to say is, everyone who purchases Office 365/Office 2013 or any other Office product, needs to be informed about this issue, because a lot of people have Epson printers, and not many people would think to research this online like I did. I really hope
    for your company's sake, that your team can make a conscious effort to inform people of this problem, to save huge frustration, and I am more than certain, unnecessary returns of your product. I am sure you can understand this request, and I am sure you have
    all seen how many people are having this issue, many of which were left unresolved, and most likely returned the product. Thank you for your time.

    Hi,
    Thanks for your post.
    For a start-up issue of Office applications, usually, you can start the troubleshooting with the
    safe mode or Windows clean boot
    to narrow down the issue.
    If issue persists, please post back with more informations, then we will have a further investigation.
    I definitely understand the frustration you are having with it and thanks for your feedback. Whenever you have any questions about our products, you can post in the dedicated forum. Our engineers will try their best to help you out.
    Thank you and much appreciate your understanding.

  • Problem loading office 365 university

    I have just purchased a MacBook Pro 15" w/Retina.  I also purchased Office 365 University.  I followed the instructions included with the Product Key and it appeared to load (i.e. the icons appear across the bottom of my screen).  However, when I attempt to open any of the icons I get the same message asking me to enter the Product Key again and it tells me it is invalid or I get a message asking me to enter my Microsoft UserID/Password and it tells me it is invalid.  I have no idea what I am doing wrong or why it won't accept the Product Key which is being entered correctly.  If anyone else had an issue similar to this please let me know what you did to correct it.  Thanks!

    That is not an Apple product. You need to contact Microsoft for support.

  • Hi, I need the program of access from the office, so i'm going to but the Microsoft office 365 university, will i have to but any other program to use the access from my mac? or to open any database that I will have did from any other computer (not mac)?

    There has never been a Mac version of Access. Microsoft never created one, realising that it was very inferior to the FileMaker Pro database application.
    So if you must run Access you will have to run Windows on your mac.

  • Microsoft Office 365 University

    My Microsoft Office 365 University, suddenly shut me out of all my word, excel, etc. documents, and won't let me re-enter my product key so I can get back on them. Also it freezes everytime I try to log into my subscription. I feel like I have tried everything, i just really need it to work before spring semester starts

    Questions about Microsoft products are best asked in Microsoft's own forums.

    This forum is for troubleshooting Apple Software Update for Windows, a software package for Windows designed to update Apple products that run on Windows, and not related to Microsoft Office in any way.

  • Swapping to a business skype account for myself

    Hi
    I have been using skype for 4 years now and love it.
    I have a business team of 6 collegues and I am thinking to sign up to the business manager option for us all.
    My own personal skype account is what I have always used therefore its for personal and business which is becoming a pain in the butt.
    I am thinking to start the buisness manage tool so do I login and trial it with current skype account name or should I start a new skype name that will only be for my work?
    This is the same for all my collegues that have always just used their personal skype account for business. How do we go about setting up the new accounts and the business manager option? Can I also set up the new accounts for my collegaues and assign that to them?
    Thansk for any help here

    Hello Matt,
    I see you want to start using Skype Connect for your business.  It's a good choice.  Your clients and business partners would be able to contact you in a more professional way using Skype Connect.
    The only thing you would have to do is plan this little venture ahead of time.  Names, Numbers, and what you are going to use to communicate between you and all of your associates.  A PBX?  A Softphone?  A Laptop? 
    The best way is to start doing your research on the Skype website. Before you build a Skype Connect Account, plan it out.  Build a list of your user names, like: Call_Matt and Call_Judy. That way you can add those names to your website as Custom Call Buttons that tell the user what they want to do.  "Oh, let's call Judy. Click that button".  You can add Skype Online Numbers and have landline users call you direct. Implament Skype Voice Mail to reply to messages the next morning.  Add "Call Minute Bundles" to your account to make calls around the world at a low cost.
    So, now it's time to start your research.
    Start at:

    http://download.skype.com/share/business/guides/skype-connect-requirements-guide.pdf
    Then:
    http://www.skype.com/intl/en-us/business/skype-connect/
    These websites will answer quite a few questions to get you started.  The more you know, the more you will be able to get this thing off the ground. If you have any questions, you can visit this Community Forum and ask as many questions of Skype Personal and the many expert Skype users and clients you see here. Don't be afraid to ask!
    Thank You for being a long time Skype User and visiting our Skype Community Forums.

  • Office 365 DIRSYNC - Sync new AD account with Old Office 365 Account

    Hi Guys,
    I've deleted an AD account (let's name it XYZ) that is synced with Office 365. However, I was told that XYZ had joined another dept instead of leaving the company. Therefore, I've recreated another AD account for XYZ and went to the Office 365 Portal to
    recover the deleted mailbox.
    However, I wasn't able to re-sync the XYZ AD account with the Office 365 account. Is there anyway to accomplish this? By the way, XYZ do also have an on-premises Exchange 2010 mailbox.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    This forum focuses on questions and feedback for Microsoft Office client. There is not so much about Office 365
    deployment\hosted\plan\Cloud aspects here, I would suggest you to post in the forum of
    Office 365 Community, where you can get more experienced responses:
    http://community.office365.com/en-us/f/default.aspx
    The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us. Thank you for your understanding.

  • Problem with Office 365 Home - Setting up mail account

    Would like to use Office 365 Home with SBS 2003 ? Will this work ?
    Receive an error "The resource that you are trying to use is located on an unsupported version of Microsoft Exchange. Contact your e-mail administrator for assistance"
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Based on the description, you wanted to create Outlook profile to connect to Exchange 2003 on SBS 2003. But you got error message. Is it right?
    What’s your Outlook version?
    Office 365 Home is compatible with only Windows 7 or later, and Mac OS X 10.6 or later. And Outlook 2013 doesn’t support Exchange 2003.
    For more detailed information, I recommend you ask in Office forum which is staffed by more experts specializing in this kind of problems. You might get better help there. Thanks for understanding.

  • I have a Skype account for my work but want to hav...

    It kept asking me "Request permission from Skype manager" which is my work account. I do have a personal email that I could use but couldn't find any link to starting a new private personal Skype account - help!! Skype site isn't very user friendly in cases such as this....thanks in advance!

    Easily done.
    You will need two things to do this:
    1. Your Domain.sites file, which holds everything you create in iWeb, and which lives in this location on the hard drive that created it;
    2. An external hardware device which can move files from one machine to another. Most prefer a usb flash drive for this task.
    Copy the Domain.sites file to the external device (you could even burn it to a disk, for lack of anything else, and then drag it back off on the other machine) and then just bring it to the desktop of the machine you want to edit with. Double-click it and iWeb will launch the Domain with your Site(s) for editing/publishing.

    Hi,
    Welcome to MSDN.
    I am afraid that issues related to VB6 are not supported in these forums, you could check that thread :
    Where to post your VB 6 questions
    In addition, you could post issues related to Office 365 which are not related to VB6
    in http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office?auth=1 to get supports.
    Thanks for your understanding.

  • I have been trying to sign on to my Skype account for one year!

    Hi, ss626, and welcome to the Community, Sign-in issues can be related to either a software problem or a password/account problem.   In order for the Skype Community to help you, some more information would be helpful:
    - Hardware used (laptop/phone/tablet brand and model)
    - Operating system (version and updates installed)
    - Skype version used
    - Internet connection used
    - The text of error messages you see, or screen shots, as long as no personal information is included- The exact steps you are taking to sign on, and at exactly what point the process fails or quits- Did you create a new account to use in order to sign on to this Community, or are you using the account that you can not sign on to Skype with?  This is an important clue! 
    Thanks in advance.
